Is it normal for EV tires to wear out so fast? / New Tesla owner shocked by tread gone at under 10K miles

New Tesla owner shocked by tread gone at under 10K miles

What people actually reported
Tires 50-60% worn at ~7,500 mi despite gentle driving
“Discount Tire measured 50-60% worn at about 7,500 miles, and I don't drive aggressively.”
@kevin_tsang
Low rear tread warning at 7,800 mi; alignment issue found
“I keep my Model Y in Chill mode all the time and still got a low rear tread warning at 7,800 miles, so I don't think it's only how hard you accelerate. Tesla ended up finding an alignment problem on mine, so I'd have it checked even if the wear looks even.”
@vraman_14
Rears worn to secondary rubber; quoted ~$1,500
“Rears were worn down to the secondary rubber in the middle while the fronts looked fine. Got quoted around $1,500 for a replacement here in the Bay Area.”
@alvin_cheung
Got a tire rotation soon after buying used
“I took my used Model Y in for one soon after pickup since it already had about 7,800 miles on it and I had no idea what the previous owner did.”
Tires ~60% worn at ~7,600 mi; leaning toward selling
“I still had tires about 60% worn at roughly 7,600 miles, so pressure doesn't explain it for me. Now I'm looking at a ~$1K quote, and it's honestly making me lean toward selling the car.”

Tread gauge at delivery showed some tires already low
“I bought a cheap tread gauge and measured my Tesla at delivery, and a couple of the tires were already reading lower than I expected for new ones.”
@sdvorak_
Tires ~55% worn at 7,600 mi; will check alignment first
“Model 3 RWD here, and mine were about 55% worn at 7,600 miles, so OP's 10k doesn't shock me.”
@hmiller_09
Tires ~50% worn at ~7,500 mi; no delivery baseline
“The only measurement I have on my '23 Model 3 is a shop report that put the tires around 50% worn at about 7,500 miles, and I've got nothing from delivery to compare it to.”
